Unicorns Forever by May Archer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a sweet little story. The competition is real. It was nice to visit O’Leary and see the gang.

It was a bit of fun to get to Riggs and Sheps story. I also like how coming to really understand your sexuality can help you move forward. I also like how they are so honest with each other once they figure stuff out. It was also fun to see all the other guys.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this final installment in the series. I could see the pieces from the previous stories through the eyes of Renard and Sorin. The battle was so hard won. There will still be some work on all sides but it feels like the Drakes are finally moving in the right direction.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really like how down to earth both men were. You could see Tom struggle with both business and personal issues. I think Denny’s outlook on life while causing a bit of a muddle was helpful for Tom. It is a reminder that hard times call for hard decisions.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I picked up this book on a “Blind Date” table. This story was much different from what I was expecting when I read the blurb but in a wonderful way. While there is plenty of humor in the story there is also plenty of deep emotions. While Patrick is there for the kids they are also there for him and helping him change is own life. I really love the ending of this story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I want to start with I loved Percy’s family. They added such a rich layer to the story. Throughout the story you can see Finn do his own self examination and grow as a person. Percy has a chance to embrace life and enjoy it to its fullest. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book contains two stories. the first is Teasing Max which is a MM D/s story. I like the way Harrison and Max work. They create the relationship they want. The second story is Spoiling Cindy which is a MF age play story. Cindy has a lot of responsibilities and wants some little time to relax. Davis is at the right place at the right time to help out. This is a great start to a relationship.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It was interesting to see the way Derek and Jude relationship develops. There is so much care and trust with these two men. I was surprised at how dramatic the last section of the story was. But it did have a great conclusion.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story is full of sweet sugar but frankly that was what I was in the mood for. There is drama with the ex but it wasn’t the main plot point. I wasn’t bothered by the BDSM scenes because that was how they met in the first place so it was a common interest. And frankly it is refreshing to see a child driven plot line that still lets the adults enjoy their own grown up fun. BDSM and families are not mutually exclusive.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story is very much not looking but finding each other anyway. I enjoyed how Boston was so gentle and caring, going as slow as needed. I also liked the trust Kolly showed once he understood Boston’s character and motives. A sweet story of finding the perfect match.
